Website: www.vate.org.auSummary:
Television, film and digital technologies are powerful vehicles that provide constant messages about culture, community values and identity. This workshops focuses on how we can use these literacy vehicles for positive development and discernment about what, who, how and why the messages are conceived and delivered. All curriculum areas are responsible for literacy and married with multimodal approaches, educators can encourage students to be critical and discerning consumers and creators of the messages that are communicated through the media and media technologies every day.
